Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome Introduction Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) affects approximately 1 in 4-8 million newborns. It is characterized by rapid aging, but no symptoms are seen at birth. Within a year, infected children start showing symptoms such as a receding jaw, pointy nose, partial to total hair loss (alopecia), fat loss, bone disfigurements, a short stature and skin problems (Pollex 2004). The disease progresses with time, and eventually leads to death at an average

"If it is not written, it was never done" this mean that if it was not written down it could be lost and forgotten as time goes by like if it never happened. You can only prove what you did by the documentation that you do. If you don't document it, then you can't prove you did it. A proper documentation is always important in a healthcare setting. By having incorrect information or no information at all it may result in serious injury or death of a patient, that why it very important to keep track

Physiology and Developmental Biology from Vanderbilt University. She studied how the pancreas precursor cells are led by a cascade of transcription factors during development to become insulin-producing beta cells, while using transgenic mice and immunofluorescence microscopy to examine the topic. Her current studies resulted in the discovery that the steroid hormone ecdysone, which directly controls Drosophila germline stem cell activity. These studies expanded her ability to design experiments significant

Trichinella Spiralis is a typical intracellular parasite of skeletal muscles which infects a wide range of mammals including humans. Trichinella spiralis is characterized as the best member of Trichinella genus, because of the fact that it can cause human disease, trichinellosis and apart from humans, infection by trichinella spiralis has high occurrence in domestic and sylvatic animals. In addition, it plays an important role in vivo models in laboratory for study of basic biology, immunological

the study shows, molecular details about how repair proteins and checkpoints are responsible for DNA repair mechanism are still unknown4. To unravel the complications in deficiency of DNA repair mechanisms and their relationship with H3K9me3, immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy were carried out and it was found that γ-H2AX/53BP1 foci were associated with regions enriched with H3K9me34. Moreover, to analyze the hypothesis that H3K9me3 poses a barrier for defective DNA repair, SUV39

The cause of this illness is a microscopic unicellular eukaryote organism moving by minute contractions of small contractile fibrils organelles unlike many other Protozoa moving by locomotion. The disease occurs primarily in animals; however, in rare cases, the infection may occur in humans when the nymph black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) attach to a person from vegetation close to ground level and climb up on the host to find a place to bite. In addition to that, the vector needs to be attached

Matt Murdock was just an ordinary citizen in the city of Hells Kitchen, New York (Marvel, 2015). One day, Murdock saved a man from being hit by an oncoming truck transporting radioactive substances. Unfortunately, the dramatic swerve of the truck resulted in the spilling of this toxic chemical rendering Murdock sightless. However, the loss of his vision was supplemented by the heightening of his remaining sensory systems to an extraordinary level and he was henceforth known as Dare Devil. He was

targets. Compared to the ELISA, the multiplex assays have the potential to be informative tools for autoantibody cluster analysis or evaluating diseases with multiple autoantibody specificities like SSc, SLE, and IIM. Automation of Antinuclear Immunofluorescence Testing Irrespective of the known challenges associated with ANA IFA testing, a major strength of this technique as a screening tool for SARD lies in the diversity of staining

After three hours, the coverslips were carefully washed with 1X PBS at 37°C, and fixed for 20 minutes with 4% Paraformaldehyde in PBS. Immunofluorescence on HeLa cell lines The coverslips were washed with 1X PBS. Permeabilized for 5 minutes with 500 µl PBS + 0.2% Triton X-100, then washed again with 1X PBS. The cells were blocked for 1 hour with 2% BSA in PBS. Then the cells were incubated for

plays an important role. There are six laboratory tests available today to diagnose influenza. Which includes, genetic/antigenic characterization, serology testing, viral culture, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) and, immunofluorescence studies. Finally rapid influenza diagnostic testing (RIDT) is available as a point of-care test for outpatient settings. The gold standard for diagnosing influenza is viral culture and RT-PCR. In general healthy population influenza is self-limiting
